When I first read the name of the site, I presumed that this would be a platform only for fathers. But then it seems that I might be wrong. Dad centric articles and stories might be their main focus but it does seem that they do accept a lot of other interesting topics too.
I have never come across the name of this site. I hope that they are not location specific and are open to writers from across the globe.
Well, I have come across names of few really interesting writing sites in this forum section today. It's exciting to know that they do encourage the creative writing kind of stuff and are some way different from the regular article writing sites.
Definitely a lot for me to make a note of and check for them when I get the time to do so. But sounds promising for writers.
Some insight into their payrate and mode of payment would be also good.
A good way to know any writing site and their expectations is to read some of their published work.
